I'm obsessed with computer use right now. My coding agent drives my computer every single day, and I don't use any sort of tool for it! No Codex computer use, no GitHub repo, no harness. The LLMs are powerful enough to drive the screen entirely on their own now reliably, so all it took was one super simple skill. That simplicity is why I love it even though I used to be quite opposed to computer use. It's lightweight, easy to customize, and when it makes a mistake the fix is one more rule in the skill. It sets up my machine in the morning, stages my demos, tests desktop apps, and drives other agent sessions. Drop it into any project, use it with whichever coding agent you're on, or install nothing and take the ideas.

Hostinger (code colemedin for an additional 10% off yearly plans for new accounts): https://www.hostg.xyz/SHK1N GPT-6 Astra is not AGI, but it is the best LLM right now BY FAR, especially for AI coding. So in this video I show you how to put Astra in charge of an AI Software Factory and run it remotely, 24/7. The factory accepts PRDs or issues and produces fully validated and shipped code at the end. Your coding agent does the setup for you: it configures the server, locks it down, and installs the whole factory. Of course for the sake of tokens/rate limits you won't be using Astra for literally everything, but it will call the shots for the important parts of your system. The factory is free and open source. Point your coding agent at the repo and it installs everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Join Dynamous for the new Agentic Coding Course 2.0 - the core of the course is now COMPLETE: https://dynamous.ai - The AI Software Factory (the install prompt is at the top of the README): https://github.com/coleam00/ai-software-factory - Every prompt in this video, in order, as a copyable cheat sheet: https://github.com/coleam00/ai-software-factory/blob/main/docs/server-cheat-sheet.md - AI Software Factories Are the Next Big Thing (I'm Building You One): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcLj_SO8JNk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0:00 GPT-6 Astra vs the AGI Hype 1:14 What the AI Software Factory Is 4:01 Getting a VPS (Hostinger) 5:28 One Prompt Sets Up Everything 6:28 The Setup Interview 8:18 Installing the Hostinger Plugin 10:28 GitHub and Codex Login on the Server 13:00 Factory Installed, First Test Issue 14:16 How the Factory Works 15:08 The Result: Issue to PR 15:50 Wrap Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI.

AI has almost solved writing code - at least in many ways. But it certainly doesn't produce secure code! I see vulnerabilities turn up in AI generated code constantly, and almost nobody is building for it. So this is the setup I actually use. The agent still does the work. The difference is that a security scan sits inside the workflow as a step it cannot skip, and it is not another agent giving an opinion. Two tools do the job - Archon runs the workflow and Sonar decides whether the work is allowed out. Archon is open source and Sonar is free to start with! The workflow itself is linked below, and the idea transfers to whatever you already use. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out Sonar (SonarQube Cloud, free for open source): https://fandf.co/4x9mJfM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Join Dynamous for the new Agentic Coding Course 2.0 - the core of the course is now COMPLETE: https://dynamous.ai - Archon (my open source harness builder): https://github.com/coleam00/Archon - The secure workflow from this video: https://github.com/coleam00/ai-transformation-workshop/blob/main/.archon/workflows/secure-fix-issue.yaml ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0:00 Agents write great code, not secure code 0:50 Archon and SonarQube, my daily drivers 2:29 The two ways agents introduce vulnerabilities 3:43 Two reasons agents screw this up 5:25 It notices the vulnerability and ships it anyway 6:25 A prompt is not a gate 7:02 My issue-to-PR workflow, the basic version 8:16 Why one more review agent doesn't fix it 9:15 The one idea: make it a gate 10:00 The secure workflow in Archon 11:12 Inside the YAML of a workflow 12:25 The three vulnerabilities Sonar caught 14:09 Running it end to end: red, then green 15:43 Where to take this next ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI.

I've been using AI coding assistants to write all of my code this entire year! I still validate everything though, and what limits my trust isn't the model - it's what it can reach. The second an agent touches real infrastructure you're handing it shell access, a database URL and a cloud key. Now it can do anything, including wiping your database. Kestra does it the other way around. The operation is YAML in Git, and the agent gets a list of flows it's allowed to run instead of the credentials. Every call comes back as a normal execution you can open and read. Kestra 2.0 is officially out now, and the core stays Apache 2.0. Kestra 2.0: https://fandf.co/4gEtWhm Clone this AI agent blueprint to try it: https://fandf.co/3VcvAQf GitHub: https://fandf.co/4h8rlh9 Thanks to Kestra for working with me on this! Genuinely impressed with their open source tooling.

An AI software factory is the ultimate evolution of AI coding. A PRD goes in, gets split into tasks, and shipped code comes out the other end, with nobody looking at the code in between. I ran that as an experiment all year and it built Dynachat, my AI tutor, which I have never read a line of. Now I am building an open source version anyone can download and point at their own project! You paste the prompt at the top of the README into your coding agent and it installs the whole thing. It's in early alpha and it is my number one priority going forward - building it out and sharing it with you on this channel as I do so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out DataImpulse - residential proxies for scraping and agent workflows: https://dataimpulse.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ColeMedin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Join Dynamous for the new Agentic Coding Course 2.0 - the core of the course is now COMPLETE: https://dynamous.ai - The AI Software Factory.
